Arlington may suspend or revoke a short-term rental permit when an operator accumulates three substantiated violations within a 12-month period, including noise, parking, occupancy, or unpaid hotel-occupancy-tax infractions, after notice and an administrative appeal opportunity.
Under the Arlington STR ordinance, repeat violations trigger escalating consequences: warning letters, civil fines up to 500 dollars per offense, then permit suspension or revocation after three substantiated violations within a rolling 12 months. Common strike-eligible violations include exceeding the two-adults-per-bedroom occupancy cap, parking on lawns during Cowboys gamedays, amplified-music breaches of the 10 PM quiet hours, and unpaid hotel-occupancy tax. Operators receive written notice and may appeal to a hearing officer before revocation. Revoked operators face a one-year cooling-off period before reapplying.
Three substantiated violations within 12 months trigger permit revocation and a one-year ban on re-application. Each individual violation also carries fines up to 500 dollars per day of continued non-compliance.
